I am very excited for this card. This has some great matchups. Figueiredo making a 21 day turn around to defend his title is a baller ass move that not many champs would do, you have to wonder how two weight cuts in one month is going to affect him. He has missed weight before. I do feel like we are getting robbed by Ferguson v. Oliveira not being a 5 round fight. Funnily accented, MILFy Mackenzie Dern is back in action trying to work her way to a title shot and become the first mom champ, and I am down for that. Kevin Holland got a false positive covid test a couple of weeks ago that moved him from a fight against Jack Hermansson into a fight against Jacare here, that is a good name to have on his resume. Holland has done great work during the rona era of UFC. Former heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos is hoping to get his first win in what feels like ages against Ciryl Gane, the latest foreign import to the heavyweight division that looks like an absolute killer. Cub Swanson is in the featured prelim, and you know he is going to put on a show. I will say Renato Moicano v. Rafael Fiziev is one fight to watch. Well, enough of that, here are my picks:
